Selected Messages Book 1
Those who cherish the view that there was no Saviour in the old
dispensation, have as dark a veil over their understanding as did the
Jews who rejected Christ. The Jews acknowledged their faith in a
Messiah to come in the offering of sacrifices which typified Christ.
Yet when Jesus appeared, fulfilling all the prophecies regarding the
promised Messiah, and doing works that marked Him as the divine
Son of God, they rejected Him, and refused to accept the plainest
evidence of His true character. The Christian church, on the other
hand, who profess the utmost faith in Christ, in despising the Jewish
system virtually deny Christ, who was the originator of the entire
Jewish economy.
